Think about it.

It was simply a transforming zord, but that alone does not a megazord make.


The rescuezords had humanoid modes, but were not indiviual megazords.


For that matter the Delta Megazord was not a megazord either.

Only the Mega Voyager was technically a megazord in PRIS.

What else were they going to call it?

It had to combining pieces. Without both, it wasn't a robot.

Yeah it cant become the astromegazord withonly its own components. It needed the shuttle. If 2 dont make a megazord, then the thundermegazord isnt one either. Cause only hunter and blakes zords are needed to form it.

Timeshadow is a question though, same for qrex.

What about the Mega Voyager? It's not called a megazord, but I still consider it one since it consists of 5 seperate forming zords.

If it has 5, 3, or 2 individual zords which form a robot, it's a megazord.
Ex. Zeo Megazord

If it starts out as a ship, animal or a vehicle and transforms into a robot, it's a megazord.
Ex: White TigerZord.
I quote Tommy: "Tigerzord, convert to warrior mode now!"

To Titanium321 and fireforce, so I suppose the better question would be, "When is a Megazord a Megazord?" or "When is a zord a Megazord?"

The Delta Megazord is really the only exception. The Astro Megazord is a two parter like the second Thunder Megazord. Although thinks like the Time Shadow and Quantasaurus Rex, I don't consider Megazords. I think lately they just use term "Megazord" all willy nilly.

Megazord is probally like a zord that has a more complicated structures then a standard zord.

So by that logic, each Turbo Rescue Zord is a Megazord.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. The White TIgerzord is not a Megazord by itself. The Mega Tigerzord is somewhat of a Megazord, just the title isn't needed like the Defender Torozord.

I don't know why they call the Samurai Star a Megazord either. It's pretty stupid if you ask me.

By saying that the Astro Megazord is really not a megazord, you are also saying that the samurai star is not a megazord.

Actually, I don't consider the Samurai Star a Megazord, but at least the Astro Megazord is formed by two Zords.

I'm not saying the individual zords are megazords. What I was trying to say:
A megazord can consist of individual zords which combine to form one big zord.
Also, a megazord can just be one individual zord which can form into one big zord.
My motto is: If the robot is big or huge, it's a megazord.
Obviously, the Mini-zord is NOT a megazord. Why? It's a SMALL individual zord.

The Rescuezords (in high stance mode) were no smaller than your average robot. It was about the same size as the Robo Racer, which also wasn't a Megazord, but I think you get my point.

I believe a megazord is just a more complicated zord. Like the tigerzord or samuari star megazord or the delta megazord are all more advanced then the rescue zords in robot mode. I mean there structure is totally different. Also you can argue that the delta zord is a megazord because it splits up when combining with the astromegazord into like 5 different peices which could be considered zords.

Ah, think about it.

It was never once said that the Astro Megaship or the Shuttle are zords.

I mean, they were never called zords

Well, "Mega" means big. "Zord" means... well, Zord. So a Megazord is actually a "big zord", or in this case, a "bigger zord" or "different zord". So, when 5 zords combine and become a bigger robot, it becomes a "Megazord", not 'cause they combine, but 'cause it's bigger and different. The same thing goes for the Astro Megaship, it's a ship that becomes a bigger zord, or in this case, just a zord, since the Astro Megaship isn't techinicaly a zord. So, it's a Megazord, just like the Tiger Zord, the Mega Winger, the Delta Megazord, etc.

It's that, or: In the Power Rangers' world, every big thing that transforms into another big thing is a Megazord by default.

Yes! Someone finally gave the Megazord philosophy!:)

The Astromegazord is a megazord cause all 5 can fit in the control room(or whatever its called)

The Astro Megaship/zord is the best!

I don't know, any frankly, I couldn't care less. Let's not forget the end results: The Astro MegaZORD.

So it starts out differently. But, is the final warrior battle form of the Astro megazord any differnt then the (Dino) megazord of Season1? No. A megazord can be fored for 1-5 zords. You say, you dont consider Astro Megazord a Megazord, yet consider the Mega Voyager? That makes no since. Both are Megazords.

Kongazord, predazord, both are megazords.

Q-rex. Samurai chopper. Hell, even red dragon & White Tiger in warrior modes could constitute megazords. Maybe at the time they werent considered, but now they probly would be.

NOw, battle borgs & High sance rescue zords. They are iffy. Same with red dragon & White tiger thunder zords. They are a battle mode of a zord.

Is Torozord considered a megazord? Why not robo racer?

Basicly, to me, a Megazord MUST be a human shape, AND be able to perform a finishing move. And, while i dont think Delta had one, just look at it. It is obviously in the same class as the Ninja megazord.

As far as I'm concerned, any large, major zord that is capable of transforming into a humanoid robot mode (or only has that mode), and is capable of effectively fighting a monster uncombined with other zords is a Megazord.
Astro Megazord, Delta Megazord, Defender Torozord, Q-Rex, Shadow Megazord, and Samurai Star Megazord are definitely Megazords. They can all kick butt uncombined, either alone or supporting a multipart Megazord.
Red Dragon Thunderzord, White Tiger Thunderzord, the Battle Borgs, Super Zeo Zords, Turbo Rescuezords, Robo Racer, and Max Solarzord are more dubious, but I do not regard them as Megazords. These either spend most of their time combined with other zords during battle, or were by themselves mostly ineffective.

that's actually factually incorrect if it was just a transforming zord then the Megazord wouldn't have needed the Shuttle at all but it needed the Shuttle and the Megaship in order to form the Megazord so yes that alone does make it a Megazord but you do have an argument for the Delta Megazord as well as the Mega Winger since they were just transforming zords but the Mega Voyager was most definitely a Megazord.

What about the Mega Voyager? It's not called a megazord, but I still consider it one since it consists of 5 seperate forming zords.

yes it's not called a Megazord but I still consider it one.

yea the whole Time Shadow and Q-Rex Megazord stuff is old.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. The White TIgerzord is not a Megazord by itself. The Mega Tigerzord is somewhat of a Megazord, just the title isn't needed like the Defender Torozord.

I don't know why they call the Samurai Star a Megazord either. It's pretty stupid if you ask me.

yea the Tigerzord isn't but the Megatigerzord is. I do agree that it's bad.

By saying that the Astro Megazord is really not a megazord, you are also saying that the samurai star is not a megazord.

bad comparison since the Samurai Star is just a single component that transforms from helicopter to human mode while the Astro Megazord is a combination of 2 components the ship and the Shuttle so you should try that again.

Actually, I don't consider the Samurai Star a Megazord, but at least the Astro Megazord is formed by two Zords.

same here

The Rescuezords (in high stance mode) were no smaller than your average robot. It was about the same size as the Robo Racer, which also wasn't a Megazord, but I think you get my point.

he's right the Rescuezords were pretty much typical size.

Ah, think about it.

It was never once said that the Astro Megaship or the Shuttle are zords.

I mean, they were never called zords

perhaps but Astronema referred to the shuttle as the Megazord Shuttle.

So it starts out differently. But, is the final warrior battle form of the Astro megazord any differnt then the (Dino) megazord of Season1? No. A megazord can be fored for 1-5 zords. You say, you dont consider Astro Megazord a Megazord, yet consider the Mega Voyager? That makes no since. Both are Megazords.

Kongazord, predazord, both are megazords.

yea I agree that it doesn't make any sense but I do agree with you about Kongazord and Predazord.

Q-rex. Samurai chopper. Hell, even red dragon & White Tiger in warrior modes could constitute megazords. Maybe at the time they werent considered, but now they probly would be.

NOw, battle borgs & High sance rescue zords. They are iffy. Same with red dragon & White tiger thunder zords. They are a battle mode of a zord.

Is Torozord considered a megazord? Why not robo racer?

yes you're right about the Red Dragonzord and Tigerzord but I do agree that their classification would be iffy same with the Battle Borgs and Rescuezords. I don't know if the Defender Torozord but if you go by the current naming scheme it would be considered one. I don't know about the Robo Racer but its Battle Mode would probably be considered one.
